If you’re a big G.I. Joe fan there’s good news and bad news. And also some very weird news. The good: Paramount is reportedly developing not one but two movie scripts in hopes of bringing the popular franchise back to the big screen. The bad is that, while beloved Hollywood figure Danny McBride is developing one G.I. Joe project, Max Landis is spearheading the other. Also weird: even though the two are working on totally independent G.I. Joe movies, Paramount apparently hopes to eventually combine them into one movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount has tapped Max Landis to work on a treatment for a new G.I. Joe movie. Meanwhile, at the same time, the studio also has Danny McBride writing his own script. But while these are totally separate attempts at bringing those iconic figures to the silver screen once more, sources for THR’s Borys Kit say Paramount “will then try to blend the two scripts into one.”
….Sure. That sounds like nonsense guaranteed to fail, but sure.
That’s a curious creative decision for a future G.I. Joe movie or movies. Far stranger, though, is the personnel one. Despite many credits to his name early in his career, the 40-year-old Max Landis, son of John Landis, has been persona non grata since 2019. That’s when The Daily Beast published a lengthy piece where eight women credibly accused Landis of “emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.”
Landis has addressed the allegations since then. While he admitted to “serious mistakes” and being a “toxic presence,” he has denied the most serious accusations. Landis has never faced any formal charges.
It does feel strange that, of the countless creative, thoughtful minds in Hollywood capable of writing a good script about cartoon army guys facing an evil organization named Cobra, this is the person who gets the opportunity.
The good news? We’re confident Danny McBride’s G.I. Joe movie script will be fantastic. We’ll see where the G.I. Joe movies end up heading.

Exactly one year to the day after its inaugural season, Daredevil: Born Again returns to our TV screens. In television, that’s a pretty quick turnaround, but there’s still a lot to remember from the nine-episode first season.
Before diving into the highly anticipated new season, let’s take a look at where we left off with everyone.
Matt Assembles an Army
By the end of Season 1, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) has finally embraced being Daredevil again. He tried to let the justice system handle matters. But after the brutal murders of his best friend, Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), and his innocent, newly-freed client, Hector Ayala (Kamar de los Reyes), aka White Tiger, Matt realized that’s not an option, especially now that Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) has all the power.
It’s implied that Matt and Dr. Heather Glenn (Margarita Levieva) are no longer in a relationship, but the last interaction we see between them, he mistakes her for Karen and warns her about Fisk, which she, of course, doesn’t believe. If that wasn’t them breaking up, then they certainly called it quits when he found out she accepted Fisk’s offer. The Season 2 teaser shows Matt likely rekindling with Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), so it’s safe to say Heather is out of the picture for now.
Matt closed out the season intending to build an army against Fisk. Going by the last few moments of the finale, the team includes Karen, retired NYPD officer Cherry (Clark Johnson), Detective Angie Kim (Ruibo Qian), at least two other officers, and a couple of unknowns obscured by shadows. This meet-up is in Josie’s bar, so she’s on board, too.
Mayor Fisk Declared Martial Law
In Episode 8, Fisk watched his wife Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) shoot and kill her old fling, Adam (Lou Taylor Pucci), whom he’d held captive and beaten repeatedly. Adam lived through all of that just to die at the hands of the woman he hooked up with and seemingly didn’t even know was married. His death brings the mayoral power couple back together and strengthens their relationship. Now they’re finally on the same page: Wilson uses his position to control the city, while Vanessa uses the Red Hook port to “move billions.”
After Fisk’s campaign director, Sheila Rivera (Zabryna Guevara), recorded NYPD Commissioner Gallo (Michael Gaston) talking about plans, the poor guy got his head crushed by the Kingpin. Watching your former boss get viciously murdered surely stopped any cops who were thinking of quitting. Like Sheila, they’re stuck out of fear.
The season ended with Mayor Fisk addressing New York citizens, declaring martial law and outlawing vigilantism, giving his no-warrant-bodycam-free Anti-Vigilante Task Force (AVTF) even more power to be unnecessarily violent toward anyone. Or, at least, what’s left of them after Frank (Jon Bernthal) killed several of his fanboys, not to mention the apartment explosion.
Heather Killed Muse
In episode 7, Heather Glenn was attacked by her patient, Bastian Cooper, aka Muse (Hunter Doohan), whom she ultimately shot to death. Her fascination and distaste for masked vigilantes only increased. Even though Daredevil tried to save her, in Heather’s eyes, the men were fighting for them, not for her; it’s a strange way to see the situation, but she also just went through the trauma of fighting for her life and ending another’s.
The finale sees Mayor Fisk appointing Dr. Glenn as the Commissioner of Mental Health. What exactly that entails is a mystery, but it will not be good.
Bullseye Broke Out of Prison
When Matt visited Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, aka Bullseye (Wilson Bethel), in the penultimate episode, he unintentionally aided his escape. He broke into the party and posted up on the balcony, first aiming at Vanessa, but then taking a shot at her husband. Of course, we know Matt takes the bullet for his enemy. The finale begins with a flashback to Vanessa recruiting Dex to kill Foggy and his client.
The Season 2 teasers suggest a Daredevil-Bullseye team-up is on the horizon.
Frank Escaped Fisk’s Cage
After killing countless AVTF officers, Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, ended the season in one of Fisk’s cages. A mid-credits scene shows him breaking out like we knew he would, tricking one of his fanboys into shaking his hand.
Frank still hasn’t been confirmed as making an appearance this season. Fingers crossed, he comes back and takes out more of Fisk’s task force. We know he’ll be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and was supposed to have his own Marvel Studios Special Presentation, but that’s yet to be seen.
What (and Who) We Hope to See in Season 2
Season 2 will pick up after a 6-month time jump, plenty of time for Mayor Fisk’s tyrannical rule to ruin the lives of New Yorkers. But that’s also six months for Angela del Toro (Camila Rodriguez) to become the new White Tiger, taking over for her late uncle Hector. She already tried to catch Muse, so we know she’s incredibly brave and wants to be a good person like Hector. Hopefully, she’s ready to join Daredevil’s army.
The last time we saw BB Urich (Genneya Walton), she was talking to Gallo about files on the corrupt cops on Fisk’s task force. Now that he’s dead, she’ll have to find another way to get more damning evidence of Fisk’s delusional decisions. After she was threatened by her so-called friend, Daniel Blade (Michael Gandolfini), Fisk’s loyal protégé and new Deputy Mayor for Communications, BB is seemingly playing the long game, and using the BB Report to spread Fisk’s propaganda. Maybe she’ll meet her uncle Ben’s (Vondie Curtis-Hall) old friend Karen, and they’ll team up to take him down.
Like Frank and other enemies of Mayor Fisk, Jack Duquesne (Tony Dalton), aka Swordsman, ended the season locked inside one of his cages. We’d love it if he joined Daredevil in the Fisk resistance, or returned in any capacity, ideally outside of a cage. A Kate (Hailee Steinfeld) and/or Elenear Bishop (Vera Farmiga) cameo would also be very cool.
The chances of seeing Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and her dad, Yusuf (Mohan Kapur), who appeared in episode 5’s Saint Patrick’s Day bank heist, don’t seem likely, but we can still hope. We’re more than excited to see the return of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), last seen in the Season 3 finale of her titular show on Netflix. An appearance from Luke Cage (Mike Colter) would be a welcome surprise.
Ultimately, if none of these stories get told this season, we always have the officially confirmed third season.
The second season of Daredevil: Born Again premieres with its first two episodes on March 4, 2026, on Disney+.

Fifty years after their first encounter kicked off several decades of DC/Marvel crossovers, the Man of Steel and the Wallcrawler are joining forces once again in Superman/Spider-Man #1. Writer Mark Waid and artist Jorge Jiménez join forces to headline DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 with an unforgettable lead story. And now, DC Comics has added 10 new variant covers for this special issue, as well as a new art by Jiménez, and Jim Lee’s first published Gambit art in three decades! All of which you can check out in our gallery below:
And here’s the official synopsis for Superman/Spider-Man #1, which hits comic book shops in March 2026, below:
When journalists Clark Kent and Peter Parker find themselves chasing the same story, the conspiracy they uncover could change the world—especially if Brainiac and Doctor Octopus have anything to say about it. (And we bet they do!) Good thing our intrepid newshounds are secretly Superman and the amazing Spider-Man.
And in the gallery below, you can check out the main cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 from Jorge Jiménez. You can also take a peek at the first wave of variants from Jim Lee, Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, David Talaski, and many others.
DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 will also include several bonus stories, all featuring DC and Marvel characters. Tom King and Jim Lee tell a tale of Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson, where they meet the X-Men’s Gambit. This will feature the first official Gambit art from Lee in over three decades. Another story by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber revisits Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen…and Carnage!? That one’s out of left field. Sean Murphy takes us to the future with Superboy (and the Legion) and Spider-Man 2099.Uncanny X-Men writer Gail Simone teams up with Belén Ortega for a look at what happens when Power Girl meets Punisher.
In addition, writer Christopher Priest and artist Daniel Sampere show us a time when Superboy Prime (who reads all the comics!) decided to visit Spider-Man right after he got the black suit. And the former Wonder Woman creative team of Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott takes us on an exciting race between the Daily Planet and the Daily Bugle. There’s even a team-up between Clark’s Pa Kent and Peter’s Uncle Ben. Maybe we have to wait for the next crossover for the inevitable Aunt May and Ma Kent meetup.
DC Comics’ Superman/Spider-Man #1 comes out on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. It will retail for $7.99 US, and $8.99 US for the cardstock variant covers.
Originally published December 9, 2025.
